Cultural Learnings of the Nelsons for the Benefit Glorious City of Johnson Creek

We are so going to see this movie in Johnson Creek, Tim! I don't care if you see it before we see it together, because from what I've heard, you'll want to see it a second time anyway. Erin, you coming?

It's got a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes!!

"Latest Cultural Learning: 'Santa' Will Beat 'Borat'
Although Sacha Baron Cohen's satirical movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan has been receiving a ton of free publicity in recent weeks -- including, separately, denunciations by officials in Kazakhstan and an organization of German gypsies -- the film is expected to be beaten at the box office next month by Santa Clause 3. In an item about the competition, L.A. Weekly writer Nikki Finke cited recent studio tracking showing that Borat 'may be too elitist for Middle America.' However, 20th Century Fox, which is distributing the movie, said that it never expected Borat to compete on an equal footing with Clause 3. A studio exec told Finke that he expected the film to start out strongly with college students and build from there. 'Don't look at our opening numbers, look at our finishing numbers,' he said. The two films are due to be released on Nov. 3."

Yeah I read that in IMDB. I think it's great that they never expected anything special with this movie. I can't believe how this movie is taking off. Everything I read is about the overwhelming positive reviews and the unexpected hype. The trailer is great and this movie will truly be one of the best I see this year. There is absolutely no way I will be disappointed! So, YES I will see it a second time with you! Happily!

Confident that it'll be the best movie of the year, eh?

So is War of the Worlds still #1 on your All Time list?
